I think they look like a pair of great tits but the 2nd one could be a long tailed tit or something? x

Wow! Thats gorgeous! Definitely different (but I guess similar in some ways) to our American Goldfinch https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/Carduelis-tristis-002.jpg/220px-Carduelis-tristis-002.jpg

Gorgeous little birds =)
Noticed some feathers in our garden this morning, and wondered what bird they could have been from as they were gorgeous black with yellow. Think I have my answer now, though unfortunately going by the amount of feathers in our garden a neighbours cat did get to it.
